Stern, R. ; Wang, E. ; Bowyer, S. Abstract The EUV (100-1000 A) spectrum of an optically thin plasma over the temperature range 100,000-10 million K is calculated, and the effects of free-free, free-bound, and two-photon continuum radiation are considered. The resulting spectra are presented in graphical form, with a separate tabulation of intensities for the emission lines. Results in the 100-200 A region are compared with those of other workers, and the major sources of uncertainty in this type of calculation are discussed. The applicability of the results to EUV observations of the interstellar medium are also mentioned.
